MA Graphic Design – Contemporary Dialogues at Swansea College of Art is designed for recent graduates and individuals with professional experience in the industry who want to deepen their understanding of graphic design at a postgraduate level. This exciting course offers the opportunity to refine your creative ideas and improve your design practice, equipping you with the skills to thrive in the fast-paced creative industry. Throughout the programme, you will explore the use of visual language to address complex, real-world design problems. Graphic design plays a vital role in tackling challenges within contemporary society, and you will learn how to use design as a tool for effective problem-solving. The course encourages you to think critically and creatively, providing you with the tools to engage in both practical and theoretical aspects of design. As part of the Contemporary Dialogues portfolio, you will develop new ways of thinking and approach your own design practice from fresh perspectives. You will examine how communication can be enhanced through design, using techniques such as metaphor, and explore how design can act as a trigger for thinking and feeling. By working at a cognitive level, you will develop the ability to create designs that not only look great but also resonate with diverse audiences.
You need 2:2 honours degree or UWTSD recognised equivalent. We are interested in creative people who demonstrate a strong commitment to art and/or design and, therefore, we welcome applications from individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. Please note, this masters programme does require practical and theoretical research as well as some academic writing.
